Hi there! Yes has bee a long time but we have been busy... Very busy and here the results: a completely new product and category!

Introducing Artistica's exclusive DERUTA CANDLES

We are launching an exclusive,
first-of-its-kind line of luxury ceramic candles, handmade and
hand-painted in the Umbrian hill town of Deruta, Italy.

Branded “Deruta Candles” they will be available beginning Aug. 1, 2016 at http://www.DerutaCandles.com and we will be presenting the collection to the wholesale market at the
upcoming edition of NY NOW, which runs Aug. 20-24 at the Jacob K. Javits
Center in New York City.

As you know we have spent years designing and importing Italian lifestyle
decorative goods but more recently, upon
researching the candle holder idea, we were surprised to find he had
stumbled upon a niche - no one else had yet developed an Italian premium
ceramic candle for the mass market!

We have been working on this idea for over one
year and managed to keep it under wraps - even from my own Italian
suppliers... they were making these ‘cups’ without knowing what they
were for.We have reconfigured part of his
Illinois warehouse to set up a candle-pouring operation.

Each one-of-a-kind candle is gift-boxed in a custom and very elegant tube box and
comes with a seal and certificate of authenticity. The collectible
ceramic holders, which average 4.25 inches in height and 3.25 inches in
diameter, are filled with 14 ounces of custom-blended “Scents of Italy”
in Eco-friendly, non-toxic soy wax blended with natural botanical oils.

Once the 70+ hour candle life has extinguished, the holder may be
refilled with one of Artistica’s custom made soy refills, or used as a
tumbler, cup or vase.

Although our Deruta Candles collection has already reached 48 SKU's, we are planning adding new products in this category on regular basis, so check back with us soon...Thank you Marco and Alice Margaritelli
